Batteries Included: Living Life in the Power of the Holy Spirit
In this episode of the CLC Commute, Pastor Grant Roe kicks off a new series leading up to Pentecost Sunday by unpacking the vital role of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life. Using the analogy of a powerful toy with no batteries, he explains that the Christian life comes with “batteries included” — the Holy Spirit empowers us to live the lofty vision of the Kingdom and the Sermon on the Mount.
The conversation draws rich parallels between the fire at Mount Sinai in the Old Covenant and the flames of Pentecost in the New Covenant, showing how the Holy Spirit shifts us from external law to internal empowerment. Pastor Grant highlights how the Spirit is poured out on all people — breaking barriers of geography, gender, generations, and genetics — and is not reserved for the morally perfect, but for the sincerely repentant. The episode closes with the beautiful historic prayer “Come Holy Spirit” (Veni Sancte Spiritus).
A practical and inspiring conversation about living a Spirit-empowered life every day.
